A housewife and a chef get into a pool – it gets 12.5K likes on Instagram.

The world got a peek at “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro’s slimmed down figure in a photo posted earlier this week on Instagram by “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga. The two reality stars lounged together at a pool party in Sea Bright with their respective partners – Valastro with wife Lisa and Gorga with husband Joe.

Gorga has always been a fitness queen, but her pal Valastro has recently shed 35 pounds, no easy feat for a man known for his outrageous cakes.

“I just woke up one morning and looked at myself and was like, ‘Come on, you’ve gotta stop eating,'” Valastro, 41, said to People magazine in early July. “It wasn’t like a health scare or anything like that it really was really just, I wasn’t moving the same and was feeling kind of sluggish.”

Valastro is the executive producer and star of the TLC series “Cake Boss,” which recently ended its 14th season. The original Carlo’s Bake Shop, which is owned by Valastro and serves as the setting for the show, is in Hoboken, though Valastro has opened several other satellite locations.

“A lot of people have been asking me how I’ve slimmed down lately so I just wanted to share that I’ve used the Optavia program,” Valastro wrote in his Instagram post. “I’m not being paid to say this and it should be noted that I think every body is different and you should do whatever suits you but this is what I’m doing and I’m very happy with the results so far!”
